#INDOCHINOtravels: Calgary

A shortlist of extraordinary culinary destinations in Cowtown.

Canada’s Cowboy City attracts over a million visitors each year for its world-famous stampede, but the city has far more to offer than free pancake breakfasts and chuckwagon races. Calgary continues to be the fastest growing metropolitan area in the country, attracting a new crop of entrepreneurs each day who are testing out new businesses and concepts in the energetic town.

We recently opened an INDOCHINO showroom in Chinook Centre (the first in Calgary) and could not be more honoured to be suiting up this inspiring community. Our team has already had the pleasure of collaborating with Whisky Wisemen, a non-profit that gathers change-makers over good whiskey and social causes, and are raring to connect with more visionaries in the city. We made our start by exploring a few watering holes that are elevating the culinary and cultural scene in Calgary. Read about them below.

Bridgette BarYou’ll feel right at home at Bridgette Bar, a mid-century inspired, chef-driven bar in the heart of Calgary’s design district. Head over to this architectural masterpiece straight after work for their incredible Happy Hour selection and settle in for their rustic dinner menu including standout dishes like the Grilled Octopus, Watercress and Charred Beet Salad and Slow Roasted Duck.www.bridgettebar.com739 10 Ave SW

Native Tongues TaqueriaFor the past three years, this modern cantina has consistently been at the top of Best New Restaurant and Best Mexican lists in Calgary. The authentic fare and wonderful hospitality will make you feel like you’re a stone’s throw from Tulum and Cozumel’s beaches, rather than downtown Cowtown.www.nativetongues.ca235 12 Ave SW

Hotel ArtsWhether it’s a vacation or stay-cation, you’ll be treated to nothing but the best at this sleek boutique hotel. Hotel Arts offers its guests designer rooms, in-room spa treatments and not one, but two award-winning restaurants—Raw Bar and Yellow Door Bistro.www.hotelarts.ca119 12 Ave SW
